Study the given information and answer the questions based on it. Ten persons from A to J sit around a circular table facing towards the centre but not necessarily in the same order. Consecutive named persons as per the alphabetical series neither sit adjacent nor sit opposite to each other. Two persons sit between A and G who sits immediate right of E. Two persons sit between B and I who doesn’t sit adjacent to A. I does not sit opposite to A. H sits immediate right of C. Equal number of persons sit between D and J from both sides.
Based on this arrangement, how many persons sit between D and G when counted from the left of D?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Since consecutive alphabetical persons neither sit adjacent nor opposite, pairs like A-B, B-C, C-D, etc., cannot be neighbors or directly opposite.

2. G sits immediately to the right of E, and there are exactly two persons between A and G.

3. Two persons are seated between B and I, and I is not adjacent to A or opposite to A.

4. H is immediately to the right of C.

5. The number of persons between D and J is equal when counted clockwise and counterclockwise, implying D and J are opposite each other.

6. Using th![image.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/aptidude/image/upload/v1757404178/aptidude_questions/nguwyppmb0pvswlhiq0g.png)ese constraints, we arrange the persons step-by-step around the table:

- Place E and G such that G is immediately right of E.
   - Place A such that two persons sit between A and G.
   - Place B and I with two persons between them, ensuring I is not adjacent or opposite to A.
   - Place C and H with H immediately right of C.
   - Place D and J opposite each other.

7. After arranging all, count the number of persons between D and G when moving from D to the left (counterclockwise).

8. The count comes out to be two persons.
